The princess regretted it.

Jin An took a closer look and saw that it was none other than Zhong Chuzhou. He was dressed in a flamboyant, fiery red robe. In the dim light, the vibrant color was like a burning flame, strikingly eye-catching. The red mole between his eyebrows shone like a dazzling gem, emitting a mysterious glow.

Upon seeing Jin An, Zhong Chuzhou's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, then a gentle smile. That smile, like a gentle spring breeze, carried an indescribable, uninhibited charm that seemed to instantly dispel any gloom. The red mole between his eyebrows danced with his smile, adding to his captivating charm. His eyes shimmered with sparkling glints, like brilliant stars hidden within, drawing one involuntarily, unable to extricate themselves.

Jin An was stunned by Zhong Chuzhou's smile for a moment, and was momentarily distracted. She quickly recovered and cursed in her heart: Why would a man be so good-looking? She tried to calm herself down, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes, and asked softly, "Zhong Shizi, why are you here?"

Zhong Chuzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled faintly and said, "Prince Zhong? Not Cousin Zhong anymore?"

Jin An's eyes were slightly cold, and her tone was full of majesty: "Don't change the subject. I am asking you a question now. Why are you here?"

Suddenly, Zhong Chuzhou's smile faded, and with lightning-fast movements, he grabbed Princess Jin'an's slender waist and leaped onto the roof beam. Jin'an hadn't reacted yet, and just as she was about to scream in fear, a warm hand slammed over her mouth. Zhong Chuzhou's low, magnetic voice echoed in her ears: "Hush! Someone's coming. Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

Jin An leaned slightly to the side, trying to break free from his hand, while glaring at him fiercely. However, Zhong Chuzhou did not release his hand from her waist. Seeing her small movements, he could not help but smile softly. The slightly upturned corners of her mouth, coupled with the curved phoenix eyes at this moment, were like a beautiful painting, which made Jin An's heart beat faster. Jin An quickly withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself: "Don't look, don't look, this is a vixen!"

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. The door was gently pushed open, and a figure flashed in. Then, he gently closed the door with his backhand. Then, the person walked quietly into the hall.

At this moment, Jin An and Zhong Chuzhou, both on the roof beam, saw the person clearly. Yes, it was Wu Changfeng. He walked into the hall and quickly scanned the room, but did not see Princess Jin An. His face instantly became extremely gloomy, and his eyes revealed anger and confusion.

"Huh? Where's she?" He searched the hall, but couldn't find her. He felt a little anxious. Suddenly, he felt something was amiss. Lan Zhu, who had come to take him away, hadn't appeared. And now Princess Jin'an wasn't in the hall either. He felt it was inappropriate to stay here for long and was about to leave. Just as Zhong Chuzhou, perched on the beam, was about to raise his hand to throw the stone, Jin'an held him back and gently shook her head.

Zhong Chuzhou's handsome face darkened, and his heart tightened. A hint of displeasure hung over his heart like a dark cloud. He really didn't understand why Jin An wanted to stop him. Could it be that she already had feelings for Wu Changfeng? With this thought, his eyes instantly became complicated, with doubt, resentment, and a subtle hint of jealousy.

Zhong Chuzhou suppressed his displeasure. Despite being filled with doubt, he chose to obey Jin An's words. He withdrew his hand and stared intently at Wu Changfeng's departing figure, a gleam in his eyes.

After Wu Changfeng walked away, Jin An gently patted Zhong Chuzhou's hand and said, "Take me down!" Zhong Chuzhou once again grasped her slender waist, and with a flash of his body, he flew down, landing steadily in the hall. The moment he landed, Zhong Chuzhou let go of her hand, took a step back, and bowed, saying, "The situation just now was urgent. I am sorry for my abruptness. I hope Princess Jin An will forgive me."

Jin An looked at him suddenly so serious, and laughed inwardly, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply said, "Brother Zhong, there's no need to be so serious. I'm just a little confused. Why are you here if you haven't answered me? What's the matter?"

Zhong Chuzhou slowly raised his head to look at her, his eyes filled with heartache and regret. After a moment, he lowered his head and chuckled, "Jin'an, you just need to know that I won't harm you. This Wu Shizi is not a good match! He and the Third Prince have formed an alliance and are plotting against you!"

Jin An narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Zhong Chuzhou, and asked again, "I already knew about their plan. But how did you find out? What exactly do you want?"

Zhong Chuzhou looked at Jin An with a deep gaze and said slowly, "I only pray for your safety! I'll tell you the details later. Since you already know their plan, what should we do next? If you let Wu Changfeng go like this, they will definitely find out that you already know their plan."

Jin An's eyes glared, and he nodded slightly. "Okay! I'll trust you for now. I know that even though their conspiracy didn't succeed this time, they won't give up. I've arranged a good show for them. Cousin Zhong, would you like to go with me to see it?"

Zhong Chuzhou raised a smile: "Okay!"
